About this property

Our cabin is nestled on the east side of Big Lake Chetac offering beautiful views of the lake and fantastic sunsets. Big Lake Chetac is known for its fishing and water recreation. Enjoy coffee in the morning in the screen porch and a bonfire at night in the firepit next to the lake. The cabin has two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, living room with pull-out couch and gas-burning fireplace, family room with wood-burning stove, and a fully-equipped kitchen. We have a DirecTV/TV/DVD player and a good collection of movies, as well as books and games for your entertainment at those times when you can drag yourself away from the water. We have a dock for your boat or for great fishing. We are located 25 miles north of Rice Lake and 20 minutes south of the famous tourist destination of Hayward, WI. There are 4-wheeler trails just down the road and two nearby boat landings. This is a cozy cabin for a family or couple getaway. We also have a pontoon with a 40 hp engine for rent. Inquire if interested in renting the pontoon.

Nice getaway with a great view of lake

Definite rustic cabin, with great view of lake from deck, kitchen nice to work in with use of grill is handy. Used the pontoon that was available but fishing was not very good while there. Downfall for us was the availability of any wi-fi or phone use which we needed, and the size of bathroom/shower is very small. We rode our ATV a lot on the local trails which was great fun.

Peaceful Getaway

We truly enjoyed our week on Lake Chetak. The location was very quiet and very peaceful and the Eagles were absolutely gorgeous. When we were not touring the lake on the Pontoon, we spent most of our time relaxing on the very peaceful screened porch or enjoying a nice bonfire. My only wish is that the cabin had Wifi. That said, we plan on returning.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan and Mary Herman

We are elementary school teachers who love the Northwoods lifestyle. We both grew up in Wisconsin and love to be near the water for relaxation and recreation. We love offering our Birchwood cabin for others to enjoy. We have met so many wonderful people from WI, MI, MN, IL, IA and Canada.

Why they chose this property

When looking for a cabin, we wanted a lakeside, west-facing, charming, rustic, cozy cabin experience. We believe we found it. Our cabin is cedar sided, has knotty pine interior, and a large screened-in porch with a magnificent view of the lake. We wanted a recreational but quiet lake and we believe we found that in Big Lake Chetac.

What makes this property unique

We have been told by many people that we have an amazing, screened porch with perfect views of the lake and sunsets. We agree! Our cabin is within 25 minutes of Hayward and Rice Lake.
